All your problems are petty and unimportant.

I'm depressed. I have anxiety. Oh my girlfriend this, my boyfriend that, oh, am I gay? oh, am I a skitzo?

Why do you need to have all these categories for yourself? I think it is mostly because of overinflated self importance.

Do you like to cling to the things that make you special? The real unique YOU?

You are nothing.

You are not a big deal. Nothing you care about is a big deal.

You are gonna come and go quicker than a fart. Stop watching so many commercials, and realize that your problems don't matter.

I would think this would be somewhat understood in a psychedelic community.




i think a lot of people would be better off if they stopped trying to compare themselves to other people by putting themselves into categories/labels/etc., like you said. you are you, nothing else, nothing more, now just figure out what that means in the grand scheme and you can get on with your life.

another problem i see is that people are constantly looking for something other than themselves to solve their problems. sure advice, drugs, lovers, etc. can help you, but they wont make you happy.

its hard to get these things across without sounding like an elitist, as this thread shows.

Oh, ok, sorry if I was an ass and insulted you, I agree about that to some extent...
there is a line where problems stop being just problems and cross over into mental
illnesses and disorders, all major mental illnesses and i think all disorders have a
biological background, so it just doesn't work to think it away...if you're healthy
then yeah, you could potentially try to get over your problems with your own will-power.

OP is still a tard though, i don't think you're taking yourself to seriously if you
are complaining about schizophrenia, or severe anxiety for that matter...what? relax and let the voices
do their thing? :lol:

i get what the OP is saying except i would say it's not taking yourself seriously, but it's taking life too seriously. instead of getting so worked up over your problems realize that life is short and in the grand scheme of things your problems don't matter, so why let it get in the way of enjoying yourself.

i of all people know it's easier said than done though.




this...
I agree OP. Honestly I have nearly no stress in my life, am never angry, and would generally describe my mood as "content". It's not because I don't have problems, or challenges in my life, it's because of the way I look at my situation. Is it worth getting angry, or being stressed due to things in life you have no control over?

"All your problems are petty and unimportant" <-- This is simply untrue. There are many "important" things/problems we all face in our lives. The way we react and deal with them is the problem...ahh if only people could relax.

stress is a waste of time. be happy that your breathing right now or that your not an amputee. or even live in certin areas of the world where you'd get ass raped or killed. who cares about stupid shit. that dumb shit will be time taking up out of your life that you will never get back. i know shit sucks sometimes but all you can do is smile smile smile

Probably, yeah, I talk a lot about my disorder, but I think you'll
find I never made a thread about it and I never complain, I take it
as it is and go from there. When someone comes and tells me to just
get over it and not take myself to seriously my blood boils.

You probably don't understand what being ill means...and that's ok
but don't have a dumb opinion about something you can't grasp.

Sorry, I'll probably need to loose my ego and all will be fine...:levitate:

:lolsy:

So you can't suggest that people's problems come from having to much self importance without being seen as a self important D-bag?

I think the idea behind the message is muddled if you present it with kid gloves. "you are nothing" is not meant as an insult, despite what we are taught.

Also It's not about a "cure" to a way of thinking, its about the scale that you place things on. If you really do understand the scale of your life in respect to the scale of the universe, and your emotional responses don't match up to that, you really should be able to pinpoint where that disconnect is happening.

If there is a cure, I would say it would be to apply with brutal honesty the sense of scale that Mushrooms make so clear across the enirety of your life, with constant vigilance. Obviously a humbling process.

Thats why I chose to present my message in such a way. I don't think me spelling out my idea here will really grab people's attention, or help them change. This entire endevor needs to be initiated emotionally, I was trying to get my hooks in that. 

The thing with the internet is that peoples first assumption is that others are here to gratify the ego first and foremost. Next time, more smilies :cool:




Ah I look and think about my problems as they are superficial and in the grand scheme of things what does it matter?

I think it's a coping mechanism.

Besides i'll never be happy before I can improve the world around me or try to solve it's problems... So really how can you be happy with all the rape, murder, politricks, imbecile education, hunger, diseases and ignorance that is EVERYWHERE... OP to me it seems like you've never had problems and can't really understand what other people are going trough. Yes, in the end it's all superficial but if you have little emotional intelligence you could probably relate or understand.

What, general apathy concerning the mysterious nature of the miraculous?

Some come away from the psychedelic experience with a sense of urgency do to the issues that you outlined not a sense of, 'oh, nothing matters.'

Although in my experience it seems to be one of two ways with the 'psychedelic community.' 

We are nothing.  Or...
We are everything.

i believe you can be happy in general and still feel sad and care for all the problems that other people face. especially problems that have been here forever and probably won't ever fully go away.
